Craig Mercer
Tennis Director 
ACE Toronto

It is a great start to the new year with a lot happening at the club. We have exciting new changes to our staff, a new partnership for our fitness and programs bustling more than ever.



STAFF
We have a dynamic and diverse coaching team this year with the addition of new coaching staff. I am proud to say that we now have almost a 50/50 split between male and female coaches.
Here is our coaching staff:


Left to right: Craig Mercer, Natalie Araya, Luis Gomez, Erika Perez, Benajamin  Cayuela, Brad Thorpe (Fitness Director), John Cairns, Isabella Baston, Morgan Lever, Jessica McEachern (Fitness Trainer) and Madeline Dinunzio.
 
FITNESS
As mentioned in the last newsletter we have a new partnership with Striation6. ACE Toronto players can now purchase a membership at the Striation6 for only $10 per month. Players who are interested in joining first need to contact Brad (owner of Striation) and me for approval.
 

ACE Toronto New Partnership with Striation 6 Exercise and Performance Centre   

We are excited to welcome in a new era of fitness training at ACE Toronto. Effective September 2017 Brad Thorpe and his team from Striation 6 Exercise and Performance Centre will oversee the fitness training division at our Toronto facility. 
 
With over 25 years in the sports performance and personal training industries Brad has consulted with the Toronto Blue Jays, Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence, Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence, Pakmen Volleyball Club, University of Toronto's Family and Community Medicine Program, and the Stop Concussions Foundation. In addition to his consultant work, Brad's methods are used by a number of professional athletes competing in the NBA, MLB, NFL, UFC, FIVB and the NCAA as well as a number of Team Canada and Provincial Team athletes.
 
 
IRFAN SHAMASDIN
Irfan is no longer coaching at ACE Toronto and will continue to coach at the Granite Club. We would like to thank Irfan for his great work here at Toronto Tennis City and wish him all the best in his coaching career.
 
PARENTS MEETING
We will host a meeting for parents and coaches in our competitive stream on Wednesday, October 11th from 7-8pm at Toronto Tennis City so that parents can get to know the coaches, our philosophy and goals for the year, and to ask any questions you may have.
 

BUBBLE UP
Our bubble will be going up from Sept 30th-October 6th. This means that we will not have
access to the courts during this time and will use this time to provide additional fitness training and fitness and tennis education for the players in the competitive stream. Players in the International Team will play tennis at Davisville Tennis Club that week. Please bring your son/daughter to training at their regular times that week as it is an equally important part of their year long training program. 



EXCLUSIVE INVITATION - LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE
Complimentary 2hr mobility workshop geared towards improving prerequisite ranges of motion and movements for tennis. Learn how to warm up each joint in order to prepare the body for the specific demands of the sport.

The session will focus on how to maintain joint health through detailed movements in order to expand and control range of motion while improving tissue resiliency and force absorption capacity. These concepts will help  decrease risk of injury and improve performance.
